G1: The only phone that makes you smarterer

by John Biggs on September 23, 2008

Yo yo yo, what’s the hizzy yo? I’m headed down to the T-Mobile store cause I want to get me a funnerer phone than the LG Voyagerer. See, the phone makes you smarterer, coolerer, and funerer than all the other phones out there and the sheer fact that I’m writing this proves that T-Mobile is trying to make this campaign viruserer than all the other campaigns out there and is aiming for wayward youth.

Well, it seems as if Google’s achilles heel has been found: Marketing. I get LESS excited about this phone by watching the videos they’ve put together…

  It seems like Google is really trying to capitalize on the credit the have received for almost being synonymous with the internet itself or at least finding information on it. It’s the “if the internet is making us smarter, than Google is making us smarter” mentality. Actually it’s the connections themselves that are making us smarter. But this is what you expect from advertising, right?

I can conceivably believe that this ad was born from the German language influence on English. The adjective form exists in German (e.g., besserer - nominative form of ‘better’ for feminine nouns) - and since T-Mobile is a massive German company I don’t think it’s too difficult to join the dots on this one. Good ad though - it appeals to me.

That thing is one of the ugliest cell phones out there! It’s like the Zune all over again. I’ll hang on to my iPhone, thanks.
